Nintendo announced three Nintendo 3DS XL hardware bundles for the holidays.

If you’re in Japan (or don’t mind importing) you can grab a Monster Hunter 3 Ultimatebundle with a 4GB SD card, a digital copy of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and a solid black 3DS XL for 21,800 yen ($280). This bundle will be available in Japan on November 1.

The Animal Crossing package includes a limited edition 3DS XL with fruit on top and white on the inside, a 4GB SD card, and a digital copy of Animal Crossing for the 3DS. You can grab this on November 8 for 22,800 yen ($292).

It is very cute and I don’t care for the Mario one and the MH3 one is bland so yah I agree it is my favorite.

I think I would totally go for the Animal Crossing one too.

Pretty good price w/ the digital game. The Mario design is nice.. the old DSi XL only had one flower/mushroom/star at the corner.. really wish I had waited for the XL LE to import a Jpn 3DS.. I would be really tempted if they were to do a Gyakuten Saiban 5 XL LE :)

Alright NoA, all you need to do is release a sexy LE 3DS XL HERE IN NORTH AMERICA and I’ll just give you my credit card.

All this in Japan and NA still only has red/black & blue/black 3DS XLs. I just want a solid matte black 3DS XL. I’ll wait for the eventual US release of more colors (hopefully).

That Animal Crossing one is gorgeous, and that Mario one isn’t too bad either. That Zelda 3DS was pretty cool, Nintendo, maybe you could consider another special thing for us?

Animal Crossing theme?

First thing that came to my mind looking at that was a Strawberry Poptart.

I’m not even an Animal Crossing fan, but that 3DS is so cute that I might finally buy one if that comes to Europe. (The Mario one is very nice, too!)

this constant repeating pattern on the case looks really really ugly

The Mario and Animal Crossing designs are pretty nice, but why is the Monster Hunter bundle just a plain black 3DS without anything like a special print on it? Is it because plain black is such a highly sought after color and they’re trying to boost the Monster Hunter popularity with it by getting those people buy that bundle who were not or at least only mildly interested in the series before? Considering Monster Hunter’s popularity in Japan, that would probably be a moot strategy anyway. But if they released that bundle in the West, maybe…!
